My Way

(C)And now the end is (Em)near
And so I (Gm)face the final (A7)curtain 
My (Dm)friend I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my (G7)case of which I’m (C)certain

I’ve lived a life that’s (Em)full
I’ve traveled (F)each and every (Fm)highway
And (C)more much more than (G7)this
I did it (F)my  (C)way

Regrets I’ve had a (Em)few
But then (Gm)again too few to (A7)mention
I (Dm)did what I had to do
And saw it (G7)through without exem(C)ption

I planned each charted course
Each careful (F)step along the (Fm)byway
And (C)more much more (G7)than this
I did it (F)my  (C)way

Yes there were times I’m sure you knew
When I bit (F)off more than I could chew
But through it (Dm)all when there was (G7)doubt
I ate it (Em)up and spit it (AM)out
I faced it (Dm)all and I stood (G7)tall
And did it my (C)way

I’ve loved  I’ve laughed and (Em)cried
I’ve had my (Gm)fill  my share of (A7)losing
And (Dm)now  as tears subside
I find it (G7)all so a(C)musing

To think I did all that i have to do
And may I (F)say  not in a (Fm)shy way
(C)No oh no not (G7)me
I did it (F)my  (C)way

For what is a man what has he got
If not him(F)self then he has naught
To say the (Dm)words he truly (G7)feels
And not the (Em)words of one who (Am)kneels
The record (Dm)shows I took the (G7)blows
And did it my (C)way

The record (Dm)shows I took the (G7)blows
And did it my (C)way
